HP2524, 802.1x and EAP-Radius

Hello,

trying to get my HP 2524 procurve switches to use 802.1x to dynamically set the vlan on the interfaces. Things seem to be communicating but I am getting the following errors in my Windows 2003 server running IAS:

Thanks Mohieddin. Actually it is in the switch configuration, I just forgot to type it in the question.

After posting I messed around with the setup and I think I know the problem. I don't think the Procurve 2524 switches can do what I want it to do, hopefully someone can prove me wrong. I want to have the Microsoft 802.1x supplicant to auto authenticate to the radius using a Certificate being pushed to my clients, using eap-tls. Switch is setup with eap-radius, but for whatever reasong the remote access policy , Microsoft IAS, will not determine the eap-type.

Well didn't try supplicant just yet, I think I made some head way on this problem. I noticed in my previous post that the event log was not displaying my Policy name correctly, so I deleted the 2 default remote access policies in IAS and I got a different message, but things look better. Below in the new Event Log and error.

Managed to get this to work. When you go into the workstations Network interface properties, go into the Authentication tab, Properties of the "smart card or other certificate" EAP type, there is an option "validate Server Certificate". When disabled everything works, but when enabled I get the Reason Code = 16.
